For the first full Talking Dirty episode of the year, Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis are joined by Garden Designer Tom Hoblyn. They last saw him at The Chelsea Flower Show and in this episode he shares some of the plants from that garden, alongside seasonal favourites from his two-acre Suffolk plot. His home garden sees him battle flooding at one end, while he experiments with a dry garden at the other. Then there's the kitchen garden and his propagation trials and tribulations! One thing's for sure, Tom Hoblyn has the gardening bug good and proper as the plant list attests...
